Tip: Safe Transit for Electronic Media

We see it everyday, a hard drive, cd, dvd or any type of electronic storage media containing highly confidential and important evidence transferred around in a cardboard box, jewel case, envelope or nothing at all. The contents of that data can be easily destroyed by scratching, dropping or water damage if not properly taken care of. Loosing that data could potentially cost you a client, so why not spend $50 bucks and buy a secure case that is lockable?

A company called Pelican makes air-tight and waterproof containers for sensitive devices like hard drives, guns, cameras, etc. We use them to transfer data back and forth between our clients along with a 4-digit TSA approved combination lock to add more security. The case, depending on the size and where you buy it, will cost you anywhere from $30 to $70 and the locks are sold at $10/lock. A small price to pay considering the alternative…
